Symplectic integrators for classical spin systems

Abstract: We suggest a numerical integration procedure for solving the equations of motion of certain classical spin systems which preserves the underlying symplectic structure of the phase space. Such symplectic integrators have been successfully utilized for other Hamiltonian systems, e. g. for molecular dynamics or non-linear wave equations. Our procedure rests on a decomposition of the spin Hamiltonian into a sum of two completely integrable Hamiltonians and on the corresponding Lie-Trotter decomposition of the time… Show more

“…Unfortunately, q = π/20 is firstly realized for a system which consists of N = 40 layers and such a system already is too large for the application of numerically exact diagonalization. However, approximative numerical integrators may be applied, e.g., on the basis of a Suzuki-Trotter decomposition of the time evolution operator [27,28,29]. In detail we choose a pure initial state |ψ q (0) and apply a fourth order Suzuki-Trotter integrator in order to obtain the time evolution |ψ q (t) of this initial state and to evaluate the actual expectation value p q (t) = ψ q (t)|p q |ψ q (t) .…”
